(S10) - PT 4 - Trade Deadline

[PigSnout]

One trade deadline deal that had a big effect was the Season 8 trade between the Yellowknife Wraiths and the Philadelphia Liberty. This trade was made after Week 7 of the season. The Liberty were starting a rebuild and were looking to trade their stars away for future picks. Meanwhile, the Wraiths were 6-1 after suffering their first loss of the season in Week 7 and were looking to make a move that would help them stay on top and win their first championship. The trade involved the Liberty sending Micah Hendrix to the Wraiths in exchange for the Wraiths' S10 2nd round pick. With this move, the Wraiths got to add one of the league's top linebackers to a defense that was already one of the best in the league. The Wraiths went on to finish with the best record in the league that season at 11-3 and would win the championship after playoff wins over the Baltimore Hawks and the New Orleans Second Line. Micah Hendrix had a standout performance in the championship game with 6 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 4 pass deflections. In Season 7, the Wraiths had been the top team in the regular season but got edged out come playoff time. In Season 8, they didn't take any chances as they went out and made a big move to ensure they would still be the top team once the postseason came around and it paid off with their first championship win.
